MACON – Weather permitting, Monday, April 13, the west end of the south outer road of Interstate 70 will close at New Florence beginning at Missouri Route 19. It is expected to remain closed for approximately four weeks.
The closure is a result of permit work needed for concrete construction of the new Love’s Truck Stop entrance.
Message boards will be in place notifying motorists of the upcoming outer road closure.
